Micir's 22 fuel double-digit win
Though she visited Penn last year as a potential recruit, it was clear from the tipoff that there was no love lost between Micir and the Quakers. She netted the Tigers' first six points from behind the arc, helping Princeton establish a 10-4 lead within three minutes, 53 seconds. Penn was not ready to call it a night, however, and Maggie Burgess' layup at 11:57 put the Quakers back on top, 13-12.
Senior forward and captain Meagan Cowher responded quickly, sinking her first jumper of the game less than 30 seconds later. The competition remained fierce, though, and the lead changed another two times as halftime drew near. Finally, Princeton broke away with a 7-0 run the last 3:17 of the half, setting the score at 30-23 before the buzzer.
Penn took the floor aggressively in the second half, and the Quakers' Kelly Scott's foul shots narrowed the Tigers' lead to five within 2:03.
